I. Role Overview
We are seeking a highly dedicated and detail-oriented Virtual Medical Scribe and Assistant to support a fast-paced Gastroenterology practice in the United States. This role is critical in ensuring clinical excellence by providing real-time scribing, comprehensive pre-charting, and essential administrative support.
The ideal candidate will be a licensed nurse with a strong clinical background and a stable, high-performance home office setup.
II. About the Clinic and Physician
Specialization: Gastroenterology.
Physician Profile: Our specialist is highly demanding and operates on a word-of-mouth referral basis. His time is split equally between the surgery center and clinical patient care.
Culture: Fast-moving and professional. The practice relies solely on its reputation for excellence.
III. Key Responsibilities & Tasks
Pre-Charting: Reviewing patient schedules in advance to prepare charts; pulling lab results, imaging reports, and prior consultation notes into the EMR so the physician is prepared before each visit.
Real-Time Medical Scribing: Accompanying the doctor virtually during patient visits to record clinical notes and documentation accurately.
Patient Coordination: Handling incoming calls and scheduling appointments during non-scribing hours.
Clinical Communication: Relaying information between the physician and patients. Workflow Integration: Assisting the doctor between back-to-back appointments to maintain a smooth clinic flow.
IV. Mandatory Requirements
Experience: At least one year of experience as a Medical Virtual Assistant or Scribe. Educational Recency: Candidates should ideally be within five years of graduation or active practice to ensure up-to-date knowledge.
Language Proficiency: Must be Bilingual (English and Spanish).
Technical & Security Specifications
Fixed Working Location: The candidate must work from one specific, consistent location only. Epic EMR access is tied to a verified IP address; changing locations or IP addresses causes significant security disruptions and requires hours of technical modification to restore access.
Hardware: Minimum 8 GB RAM.
Monitor: Minimum 21–22 inch monitor. Epic does not function well on smaller screens without 32 GB RAM.
Multitasking: Ability to run Epic and Zoom simultaneously on the same computer (no phone/tablet workarounds).
Compliance
Documentation: Must provide a valid Passport, Criminal Background Check (e.g., NBI clearance or equivalent), and Professional License.

VI. Schedule and Training
Training Period: Two-week intensive phase (Epic EMR and practice-specific workflows).
Working Hours: Starts at 30 hours per week, with the potential to move to 40 hours based on performance.
